As of March 2018 the channel has 9.9 million subscribers and 2 billion video views, and is the 176th most subscribed on the website. The channel was originally built on Halo and Modern Warfare 2 let's play videos, but came to prominence with the release of the Call of Duty: Black Ops "Zombies" mode, and further grew due to the series 'The Minecraft Project'. In 2014, Cassell started a Minecraft series with Jericho called Mianite. Cassell also operates a second channel, SyndicateCentral, which consists primarily of vlogs. In February 2012, he was given the honor of judging the prestigious British Academy (Bafta) Games Awards.

He's a huge fan of cycling and mountain biking, though he doesn't find much time for these activities. In his free time he likes to adventure and travel with his friends and family, both indoors and outdoors. He considers his time in the fast food industry as a great stepping stone and a positive experience. He has stated that it went a long way towards training him in social skills. Before he began posting on YouTube, his initial plan was to use the money from his side job to travel the world. He went to university just in case he might need it in the future, and he did so for 3 years, but it was not his preferred choice. Initially, he studied electrical installation, but due to the extreme amount of maths involved in it, he gave up to pursue gaming more professionally. It is a lifelong dream of his to develop his own video game some day and he laments not having gone into professional game design early.
